You probably want to start here : http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Prepare_your_SD_card

Thanks- I've been reading through the Wiki as well, so by now I'm quite familiar with the basics of CHDK. I have done my research, as I don't want to be one of those people... you know the ones!

To avoid confusion: STICK can't install unofficial zip releases, so a different utility will be needed.

I understand that, too. I've tried different utilities such as EOScard and the likes, but the camera doesn't seem to want to pick up the 'BOOTDISK' string... I've verified that the card's FAT32 and that the string is at the correct address on the card (and it's locked), but nada. Maybe the camera's running a newer version of 100a?

You probably missed the part in the link I posted about needing to know when the camera was released. The SD1400 was released in Feb 2010 and thus will not boot from a FAT32 partition. You need to follow the instructions for booting from a FAT16 partition and if your SD card is larger than 4G you will need to use the dual partition scheme.

Aaahhh... yes, really sorry. I did miss that part! I'll give the dual partition thing a shot when I get home and let you know of the results. Thanks again... *facepalms*

OK, it allows mechanical zoom in video mode.

I have not had any luck with shutter speeds yet but I think it's more me than the code?
I have not had any success with the default script working. It prints out: "Started:)Finished" without allowing me to do anything.

I loaded more scripts on the card and ran the following,
AUTOEXP.LUA (intervalometer with auto Tv) =worked perfectly

AUTOEXP~1.LUA (intervalometer with auto Tv) =worked perfectly

STAR_T~1.LUA (Long-Exposure Continuous Shooting) =worked perfectly

SET_B_14.LUA (Sunset B 14) =worked

PHOTON.BAS (Long exposure night shot) =image stabilization icon and orange play light just blink continuously.

MD_SDM.BAS (Fast MD 000914) =uBASIC: 71 parse error *** TERMINATED ***

OPEN-S~1.BAS (Open Shutter) =image stabilization icon and orange play light just blink continuously.

SHUTTE.BAS (Shutter speed) =uBASIC: 7 parse err *** TERMINATED ***

SHUTTE~1.BAS (Shutter Speed-AllbestT) =worked

SHUTTE~1.LUA (Shutter Speed) =worked

LIGHTNIN~1.BAS (Fast MD with burst/preview 000285) =worked

TIME_L.BAS (Time-lapse) =uBASIC: 44 Parse err *** TERMINATED ***

TLAPSE.BAS (Time-lapse) =uBASIC: 44 Parse err *** TERMINATED ***

LONGEX~1.BAS (Long exposure night shot>) = image stabilization icon and orange play light just blink continuously.

MOTION~1.BAS (Motion Detection) =worked

SUNSET~1.LUA (Sunset F16) =:86: attempt to call field 'deleteUntilMbFree100CANON' (a nil value)
*** TERMINATED ***

All these scripts work in my other cameras so I'm not sure whats going on
with the errors?

Tell us exactly what you tried - step by step?

You have it working - that's all it does. Nothing.

The fact that many of the scripts you tried worked usually means that there are either issues with the file format (copy&paste problems typically) or there is camera specific code that is wrong. Post a few of the files here as attachments and we can take a look.

Alright- I've gotten the software working nicely using the utility you linked me, Waterwingz. Thanks for that!
I'm trying to fimilarise myself with CHDK and experiment a bit before I get down to proper testing (jeez, 1SennaFan, you've set
a pretty amazing benchmark for testing! Great job!), so it may be a day or two before I can give some definitive answers.

It's been rock solid so far, except for one thing.
Going to video mode > playback mode > video mode; CHDK loads in photo mode and I need to switch to auto or manual and
back to video for it to load all the video options.
Is this because the CHDK software gets unloaded upon playback mode? I'm not entirely sure how CHDK actually works; is it a
kernel-type layer that is always present when launched upon booting or is it literally just top-level software that the camera runs?

Shutter Speed Works With Both Long And Short Exposures In The Few I Have Tried So Far.
